"The exhibition began in May. Although we had discussed the importance of the works, we didn't know that it was definitely going to be a gift; we were hopeful as we had discussed how to compliment the works we already had in the collection of photography and these specific artists,"
"The Düsseldorf School of Photography is represented through artists like Thomas Ruff and Candida Höfer. We're adding another photograph by [UK artist] Isaac Julien to the collection, Emerald City/Capital (Playtime), 2013, along with three works by Vik Muniz,"
"A good thing about the conceptual nature of much of this work is that it also allows us to think about photography as a medium that has so much life in terms of moving imagery and also how we consider the digital prospects within the museum. It'll be interesting to be able to add this [donation] to the conversation,"
Jorge M. Pérez donated more than 100 photographic works to Pérez Art Museum Miami, now exhibited in Language and Image: Conceptual and Performance-Based Photography from the Jorge M. Pérez Collection through 11 January. The donation includes works by Thomas Ruff, Ana Mendieta, Cindy Sherman, Isaac Julien, Vik Muniz, Tania Bruguera and Renata Lucas. The Düsseldorf School of Photography is represented, and a new Isaac Julien photograph (Emerald City/Capital (Playtime), 2013) joins the collection. Photography has been integral to the museum since 1996, and the conceptual works prompt consideration of moving imagery and digital prospects.
